1 2015 Saint Francis University Health and Wellness Program

2 ABOUT THE WELLNESS PROGRAM Saint Francis University is committed to being a University where employee health and wellness is a top priority. For this program year, the University is changing the incentive program, adding ways to manage and earn points to earn monetary incentives for participating in programs, and making it easier for you to make choices to better your own personal health and wellness. The WebMD Rewards program offers you ways to improve your own health and wellness no matter what your goals are! INCENTIVES AND STEPS INVOLVED For the 2015 program year, which runs from February 1 through, the University has decided on a points based system for participation in the WebMD Rewards program. This program is open to all full-time employees of the University, in addition those full-time employees with Highmark medical insurance through a different employer will also be incentivized for their participation in the program. Starting on February 1, 2015, full-time employees with Highmark insurance will be able to: Complete the Wellness Profile full-time employees with Highmark insurance will be able to access the Wellness Profile online using your Highmark ID and Password for managing your insurance benefits Complete the Biometric Screening Complete Preventive Exam Complete a variety of programs to better your health and wellness to reach your own personal goals Employees will earn points for participation in the WebMD Rewards program, and could potentially earn up to a maximum of $200 for participating in the program. The more programs that individuals participate in, the more points can be earned. Employees can receive the monetary incentive in ONE OF THREE ways: $200 in your HSA account OR $200 off of your premium contribution for health insurance OR $200 monetary payment. The maximum incentive to be earned is $200, but individuals will be compensated based off of the points they have accumulated through the program. For example, if you earn 100 points you will earn $100. PROGRAM CATEGORIES There are many different definitions of wellness and it means different things to different people. There are many different program offerings to complete the incentive program and focus on your own health and wellness goals. To make the program easier to understand this year, we have organized the wellness programs into categories, with points assigned to each one. The points you earn will make you eligible for prize drawings throughout the 9 month wellness program. It is recommended that you begin with taking the online wellness profile and participating in a biometric health screen. After completing these two steps, you can choose from any of the programs that interest you and will help you better your own personal health and wellness. Please note, you do not need to participate in a wellness program from each different category. 2 On the following page, you can see a charted description of the programs that are offered through the WebMD Rewards program. This is not an all encompassing list, as different programs and options may be added throughout the year, but these are the main programs that will be offered to individuals to complete the program.

4 How to Register 1. Go to the Highmark member website: 2. Click on the Members tab. 3. Click on the Register Now link. 4. Complete the registration form. You will need your Highmark member ID card. Refer to your insurance card and enter only numbers. 5. Click Submit 6. Note: If you have registered in the past, you just need to click on Log in and use your user name and password Even though it is not required to complete the program in this order, we highly recommend that you start earning points by first taking the online health and wellness assessment on the Highmark website. After taking the online health and wellness assessment, we recommend that you set up an appointment for a biometric screening either at the Student Health Center on the date specified below or with your primary care provider. By first starting with these two parts of the program, you will earn points towards prizes, but also will learn more about your own baseline health WELLNESS PROFILE Points Earned Towards Participation: 30 points The online health and wellness assessment is a confidential questionnaire administered by Highmark. This questionnaire assesses the current status of your health, and will give you a ranking based off of your peers. The assessment takes about minutes to complete, and employees may take it during work time. By taking this assessment, you will receive immediate, personalized feedback about your risks for developing certain conditions or diseases. In addition, you will receive suggestions on programs to participate in to help you achieve your personal health and wellness goals. BIOMETRIC HEALTH SCREENING Points Earned Towards Participation: 55 points In order to gain a better understanding of what your own individual health measures are, such as total cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, and fasting blood glucose, we ask that you participate in a free biometric health screening that will be offered at Saint Francis University. Free screenings are available through the Student Health Center, and will be conducted on Friday, February 13th. You may also schedule a screening with your physician or at a lab facility of your choice, however your deductible would apply for both the PPO Plan and the High Deductible Health Plan. You can earn 55 points when you complete this assessment by April 30, If you choose to schedule a screening at a your own health care clinic, you must submit a form to Melinda Krimmel that is completed by your physician in order to obtain the 55 points by April 30, PREVENTIVE EXAM Points Earned Towards Participation: 50 points Preventive care means getting the right kinds of preventive health services screenings, counseling, immunizations and preventive medicine at the right times. It s about protecting one s health by knowing what you need and when to get it. One step in the WebMD Rewards program is that Saint Francis asks each employee obtain a preventive physical exam each year at their primary care physician s office. In order to receive credit for obtaining a preventive physical exam, we ask that you take the Preventive Exam form to your appointment to have your primary care provider sign the form stating that you received your preventive exam. This form needs to be returned to Melinda Krimmel by. 4 The merits of preventive exams and services are clear; it s estimated that 70% of chronic conditions are related to lifestyle and therefore, preventable. Preventive exams should also be covered at no charge under your current health insurance program, as long as you let your physician know that you are interested in obtaining a preventive exam when scheduling your appointment. Preventive care adds value to the dollars spent on health care services because premature death and illness may be avoided. However, use of services is low, and we hope to encourage all employees to stay up-to-date with preventive care.
